Target taxation to the cause of taxationFor example: The cost of fuel is much higher than what we are paying at the pump. The US government spends about $100 billion annually ($460 per individual taxpayer) just to defend the shipment of foreign oil. Americans should pay their total cost of fuel at the pump in order to make reasonable and responsible decisions related to energy and energy efficiency.2 of 100 SignaturesCreated by David Buzzell

Equitable Entitlement CutsI am concerned that the common people receiving entitlements through Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid are being unfairly singled out in resolution of the debt crisis. All citizens should share in the solution.1 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Ed Kammerer

Fair CompensationOur senators and representatives no longer represent the average working American. They have lost touch with the problems faced by working Americans. They recess while they should be working on solving they many budget and health issues that face our country. Its time they faced the problems of middle class Americans. Cut their salary and benefits back to the level of the working class. maybe then we will have representation.3 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Claudia Lewis

The ForgottenIt seems convicted felons or people with not so stellar records have been forgotten. They are competing in the job market with scholars and college grads. Can someone please start a second chance program in each state for people who are trying to bounce back. They have made mistakes but they should not be thrown away and never forgiven.6 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Sabrina Burkhalter

Stop the FCC from Approving Further Media Consolidation in AmericaIn 1983, 50 corporations controlled a majority of American media. Now that number is six. And Big Media may get even bigger, thanks to the FCC’s consideration of ending a rule preventing companies from owning a newspaper and radio and TV stations in the same big city. Such a move, which they’ve tried in 2003 and 2007 as well, would give these massive media companies free rein to devour more of the competition, control the public message, and also limit diversity across the media landscape.915 of 1,000 SignaturesCreated by Marti Joyce
